Plus-Sized Marc

ROBERT DUFFY, Marc Jacobs ceo, is considering introducing a
plus-size line to the Jacobs empire. The label currently stocks up
to a size 16.

"I'm a big guy 6'4" 210 lbs. [It's] not easy for me to find
clothes," Duffy said via Twitter. "Of course I can have
them made. I know how everyone feels. I try to diet but... I don't
like the phrase plus-sizes. Any suggestions?"

According to the New York Magazine, Duffy proposed to
launch a Jacobs range for women of size 18 or over.

"Your right. We gotta do larger sizes. I'm with you," he
tweeted. "As soon as I get back to NY. I'm on it! It will take me
about a year. But stay with us. Problem solving is a big part of
our job."

In other Marc Jacobs news, the label will open a bookstore
named Bookmarc on New York's fashionable Bleecker Street on
September 15. The launch coincides with the debut of Jacobs new
e-commerce website which is due to go live on the same
day.
